protected from injury by a great netting
that, attached to the cornice, hangs clear to
the floor at a distance of a foot or more
from the wall. The candidates for the po-
sition of pitcher stand near one end of the
cage and tire away at the batSmen at the

sometimes takes his appropriate position
back of the batsnlan. but generally the ball

1.-THE rule must be followed as exactly,
whatever the style of swinging the arm.
The position it forces the thrower to take
is not really any worse for him than for the
pitcher. He will stand squarely facing the
batsman, take one step forward with the
ball in plain sight. and let it go as he
pleases. 1t will undoubtedly make his de-
livery more sure.
THE other important changes in the
pitching rules introduce more costly penal
ties for unfair and wild pitching. In the
first place, the pitcher is now allowed to
send in but five unfair balls before he be-
comes liable to the penalty of giving the
batsman his base Oh balls. and this penalty
increased by adding the charge of base hit
against the pitcher every time base is
given on balls. The same penalty, too. is
incurred every time the pitcher commits a
balk. and the liability to baik in delivery is
greatly increased under the new rules. Ii
will be seen. therefore. that the pitcher has
now to guard against three costly errors in
his method of delivery. viz: those of send
ing the batsman to his base on balls. for
hitting him with pitched ball. and for
making bak. This largely increased re-
sponsibility attached to the position. how
ever is offset by an important advantage

der the new code were not only detriment
to the pitcher in his effort to employ
strategic skill in his method of delivery: but
they were the most difficult class of balls
for the umpire to Judge correctly; and his
errors of judgment in this respect were a
fruitful cause of wrangling and kicking by
pitchers and batsmen. Under the new

II he does not get up whole game. even.
The thing about the game that is of most
interest this winter is the reform of the
pitching laws, undertaken by the last con-
vention. One of the most wideiy-known
base ball writers and scorers in the country
is Henry Chadwick. of Brooklyn, an old
timer and official scorer for the Brooklyn
club. He was evidently built for player,
but has never devoted himself to the game
professionally. other than as a writer about
it. When the new rules were announced
he interviewed several members of the COM
mittee of conference to obtain trustworthy
interpretations of the changes.

Chadwick, lin 1887 will, for the first time
in the history OF professional ball, PLAY

the National league and the American
association at the meeting held In
Chicago on Nov. Is and 16, 1886,
which code was afterwards Endorsed
at the annual conventions of both organi
cations. On this exceptional leg .sative oc-
casion not only were the members of the
joint committee of each organization the
ablest men that could have been selected
for the purpose, but they were assisted in
their important work of revising the play ne

Water as a Medicine.

Ordinary drinking water, If taken III
large quantities. acts as a solvent and
diuretic, and also increases ting perspira-
ton if the temperature OF the air be
high. Taken in the quantity Of one or
two quarts at time, the diluent effect of
water is often sufficient to eliminate an
excess of alcohol from the blood, as
after taking too much wine. Another
effect OF large draughts of water Is to
make the pulse slower, and to diminish
slightly the normal temperature OF the
body.
Increase of weight has been claimed as
a result OF systematic water drinking on
retiring for the night. The latest re-
searches do not bear out this conclusion.

hearing he was noble, must have his

one day and requested it, leaving her
